| Day 1 | Tuesday, 24 September 2019 Unfortunately, Google is not allowing photos or videos of the sessions. News: Ricoh Theta V and Ricoh Theta Z1 can use video to publish a tour to Google Street View. Trusted Program to be improved: tools and support for three tiers: ✓ Street View driving ✓ Large Tours (e.g. Malls) ✓ Virtual Tours Oldest known map: 2,600 years old (Babylonia) Google's vision: "finish the map" - every corner of the world on the map. -- I will continue to update in real time. |

| Any hope of being able to create and edit GSV on a laptop? I tried to do a 192 shot one of a YMCA and gave up trying to complete it since it was so complicated on a phone. | ||

| Q&A Panel | Questions from the audience Steve Dieter Stafford Marquardt Courtney Maimon Emilie Micaletti Google Street View Team -- Q: What are the limits of advertising on top of my car A: See Policy Site: relevant to project: contact us to make sure compliant Q: Multi-Family communities. Thumbnail is outdated on knowledge graph A: It's a know bug in the pipeline. Trying to fix soon. Q/A: Local Guides and Trust Photographer will become two separate programs. Q: Satellite and Google Street View not aligned in Curacao. A: Reported problem 18 months ago. We need to fix this. Q: Form for migration issues. Can you bring back the form. A: The form will be live again for migration issues Q: Non-functionality of not showing 360 in Google Trusted iOS app (no image) A: Was not aware. We'll take a look at it. Q: Blue line on Google Maps missing or out-of-date. If we shoot Street View ourselves, how does that related to content shot by Google (which is out of date. A: You should be able to expect that your content will update the Google Street View (priority to most recent content) If you upload high quality, recent content, it will replace old imagery. We can not promise, but doing our best. It's a complicated issue. How and when to surface imagery. What to do if multiple images? Confidence based on contributor. Change the UX to show the kind of imagery. It's complicated. It will get better. Q: DMO content. How to guarantee content updates by Trusted Photographers A: No answer provided Q: When I film Street View and then switch app and go back to Street View app, the recording gets interrupted. A: It's a known issue Q: Can I keep my level in Google Trusted. How to keep status A: Come to booth tomorrow Q: Will we ever get to pick our thumb nail? A: No. Can't favor one photographer over another. Our strategy for Levels is to provide Pro tools. Q: Is there a connection between blue and white lines? A: There are ways. It is not fully automated today. There are countries that receive more time than others. Please let us know in advance that you are driving roads that are not already on Google Street View. -- Note: I only wrote about sessions that I felt were relevant to the WGAN Community. End of Day 1 |

Quote:Originally Posted by TakedaSan I double-checked with Google about shooting inside spaces. They said, no. Essentially, the accuracy of indoor mapping is not reliable. So, they use data sets - machine learning - so that if you try to post an indoor tour via the Ricoh Theta V / Ricoh Theta Z1 1 or 5 FPS with the Google Street View app, the content will not post to Google Street View.
